Hello, all: The water jackets in the engine blocks (361 in my Newport and the 413s in my Ks and E) were loaded with casting sand, rust and other nasty stuff to the point where water could not circulate around the internal cylinder walls. The blocks were out of the cars and thoroughly dried. I managed to get rid of most of the stuff by scraping with a host of tools and vacuuming through the freeze-plug holes. In one case boiling the block had little effect. Someone may have a technique to clean out the block while it is still in the car. If so, I (and most likely others) would like to know of it.

To: "chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tuesday, July 28, 2015, 7:31 PM Newport Hoping to win the Hard Luck Award this year so that no one else has a worse story. Team Kreszock/Jett made it but 60 miles from Boone NC when the 300Kreszock overheated big time. Since the Carlisle trial of the heat removing program had earned a meager D+, when back in Boone we removed the radiator and flushed, replaced the water pump, added Water Wetter, new radiator cap, and on and on. All was going very well on the trip to PA until the belt adjusting pulley froze and ate the fan belt. That part is not available at NAPA. The car is parked in Marion NC and will be retrieved after the meet. So good that Martha and Sandy were following in modern Jeep.
